Industry,  covering  shipments  of  cattle  dipped  as  provided  in  Regu- 
lation 17  hereof,  and  shipments  of  cattle  from  certain  areas  described 
in  the  "Rule  to  prevent  the  spread  of  splenetic  fever  in  cattle,"  which 
rule  should  be  construed  in  connection  with  these  regulations)  durable

the  said  cattle  from  the  cars  or  landing  to  the  stock  yards  and 
slaughterhouses  without  passing  them  over  public  highways,  unless

all  litter  and  manure  from  the  decks,  stalls,  and  all  other  parts  of  the 
boat  occupied  or  traversed  by  such  cattle,  and  from  the  portable 
chutes  or  other  appliances  or  fixtures  used  in  loading  and  unloading 
same,  and  wash  them  until  clean,  and  saturate  the  entire  surface  of 
the  decks,  stalls,  or  other  parts  of  the  boat  occupied  or  traversed  by 
the  cattle,  or  with  which  they  may  have  come  in  contact  or  which 
have  contained  litter  or  manure,  with  the  disinfecting  material.

not  more  than  1 J  pounds  of  lime  and  J  pound  of  pure  carbolic  acid  to 


each  gallon  of  water.  In  lieu  of  the  pure  carbolic  acid  required  to 
make  this  solution  a  proper  quantity  of  so-called  "crude  carbolic  acid" 
of  known  strength  (but  not  less  than  25  per  cent  pure)  may  be  used, 
sufficient  to  make  a  disinfecting  solution  containing  5  per  cent  of  the 
pure  acid.  (2)  Any  coal-tar  creosote  dip  permitted  in  the  official 
dipping  of  sheep  for  scabies,  provided  the  same  is  used  at  one-fifth 
the  maximum  dilution  (five  times  the  minimum  strength)  specified

hicles, and  from  pens,  chutes,  alleyways,  or  other  premises"  or  inclo- 
sures  which  have  contained  cattle  of  the  quarantined  area  shall  not 
be  so  located  or  stored  that  they  come  in  contact  with  cattle  in  course 
of  interstate  transportation  unless  disinfected  by  one  of  the  methods 
specified  below.  (1 )  It  may  be  disinfected  by  saturating  it  with  any 
disinfecting  material  specified  in  the  preceding  paragraph  of  the

may  be  omitted.  (2)  It  may  be  stored  without  disinfection  during 
the  period  from  February  1  to  October  31,  inclusive,  of  each  year; 
when  stored  as  above  indicated,  the  storage  space  shall  be  tightly 
inclosed  and  so  situated  or  so  surrounded  by  cattle-proof  fences  or 
other  structures  that  no  cattle  other  than  cattle  of  the  quarantined 
area  may  approach  closer  to  it  than  15  feet. 

(I)  Cars  which  have  carried  cattle  within  the  quarantined  area  of 
any  State  or  Territory  shall  be  cleaned  and  disinfected  before  being 
taken  to  any  point  in  another  State  or  Territory  not  in  the  quaran- 
tined area.  This  provision  shall  not  apply  to  cars  containing  cattle 
in  the  course  of  interstate  transportation  for  immediate  slaughter 
in  accordance  with  these  regulations. 

(m)  The  regulations  relating  to  the  movement  of  cattle  of  the  quar-

noninfectious  pens,  provided  such  pens  and  the  platforms,  chutes,
